Bewitched!

The following is a stand-alone story. 

But, if you do wish to know the background, do read the previous 100 words story, the Part-1- Are You There?

Peter looked at the mannequin that resembled his daughter Anna.

It stood motionless while Anna's phone was ringing on the table right in front of it.

He was convinced that Anna had turned into a mannequin.

He remembered the fairy-tales he had read when he was small.

Princesses came under magical spells, the effect of which wore off later.

Who or what had triggered this in the first place?

Happiness Perfume

I was gifted this tiny bottle wrapped with love,
As I gingerly opened it, there was a note for me-
"Hope this adds to your enchanting treasure-trove!
I wish you a whiff of magic & may you live happily!"

Close Encounters Of The Smelly Kind!

When I encounter smelly people, I remember a joke I had read.

Retelling it here in my own words: 

There's this guy Y, who has a problem of smelly socks.

A girl X has a problem of bad-breath & a smelly mouth (especially just after she has woken up).

When X and Y get married (without knowing of one another's problems), they are advised by their respective family and friends to take care (& not let one another know of their respective problems!).
